Chapter 1260: Chapter 1260 Coveted 7

Wu Xiaoxiao and Jiang Xiaoyue were good friends, not without reason.

Both of them had very similar personalities, always standing up for justice and nonchalant in their demeanor.

Just as Wu Xiaoxiao was about to speak, she heard Lu Jiang reply with a voice so calm it was almost cold, "No, it’s not possible!"

Three words, concise, decisive, and forceful!

Such a blunt rejection to an invitation, especially coming from a woman, was an absolute disregard for the face.

After Lu Jiang let out those three words, he did not even glance at Han Aiguo, and instead turned his head towards Wu Changzheng and said, "Comrade Wu, where were we before the interruption? I can’t quite remember suddenly."

Wu Changzheng replied with a smile, "We were talking about your triplets, when are you bringing them to us for a look?"

"You can meet them through photos for now, in person, I’m afraid it won’t be anytime soon. I came to the Capital for a meeting with my comrades from the army, it’s all official business, and I didn’t travel with them and their mother. However, given the chance, I will definitely bring them all to the Capital to visit all the veteran comrades," Lu Jiang said with a hint of apology.

"There will definitely be a chance!" Wu Changzheng declared confidently.

Although Lu Jiang was young, he was composed and measured in his conduct. His conversation revealed his military talent at every turn. It was only logical for such a person to rise in rank. Sooner or later, he would leave the border forces to command a major military region.

Wu Changzheng and others had high praise for Lu Jiang, but Han Aiguo’s face was utterly lost.

After rejecting her, he simply went back to chatting as if nothing had happened, as if he were stepping on her pride.

In the eyes of some around them, Han Aiguo was both ashamed and angry, her face redder than the five-pointed star. On her otherwise plain face, her almond eyes blazed with intense flames.

Wu Xiaoxiao was about to burst out laughing, nudging her, "Comrade Han Aiguo, let’s go. There are quite a few people waiting for you to ask them to dance!"

Han Aiguo shook off her hand and glared fiercely at the back of Lu Jiang’s head for a few moments before striding away.

"She might have left, but her heart hasn’t given up," Wu Changzheng said softly to Lu Jiang.

Zhou Xuecheng had already deeply furrowed his brow, wondering if Han Ping really took his words as idle chatter. What kind of times were these, to so brazenly let his daughter set her sights on a married man, simply because the man was doing well and had no concerns?

The expressions on Jiang Yun and Fan Xiaohai had long since turned gloomy.

When Lu Jiang noticed the elder leader pause for a rest after a dance, he stood up and said to them, "I will go and have a chat with the elder leader."

The veteran comrades’ eyes lit up, urging him, "Go on, quick!"

The elder leader’s words were law, after all. What was a Han Ping in comparison? And what was Han Aiguo, who was trying to ride on Han Ping’s coattails? Even if the father and daughter duo were doing well, would they dare to oppose the elder leader?

They did not know what Lu Jiang said to the elder leader, but they saw that he managed to make the elder leader brim with joy.

When the dance party was concluding, the elder leader publicly said to his former bodyguard, Han Zheng, "Xiaohan, tell your brother and niece that they should not disturb Comrade Lu Jiang. Comrade Lu Jiang has already explained to me that he’s worried about the negative impact it might have. He’s concerned it would affect the proper lifestyle of the army and worry about the revolutionary feelings within revolutionary families, and even more, that the story might get blown out of proportion. So he does not have contact with any female comrades outside of his revolutionary partner. I think that makes a lot of sense. Xibao’s parents are a match made in heaven, both excellent revolutionary soldiers. Now that Comrade Lu Jiang is in the Capital for a meeting, we cannot let his worries become reality."
